<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 8062593, member: 31620&quot;]Dealers sell tooled coins because people will still buy them. I am not sure that someone would pay the asking price for this item if the seller were to be completely up front about the amount of rework done on a coin. In this case the coin is for sale by a dealer on one of the online multi-dealer platforms for Eur 3800. Would someone pay that price for it if it were described as &quot;completely tooled&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>The used car comparison is certainly a good one. There is a practice where a car dealer will buy a car that has been written off by an insurance company due to the extent of the damage making it uneconomical to repair. The dealer repairs the car for resale and historically the buyer would be oblivious of the history. In the UK the car now has to be declared as Category N (non-structural damage write off - akin to smoothing) or Category S (structural or electrical damage - akin to tooling). People can make a conscious decision to buy the car if the price suits them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
